Ultrasound inspections
A key category in “Non Destructive Testing “, used in predictive maintenance programs is the ultrasound inspections.
The principle of operation of this method is that: Emission of ultrasound is caused by effects such as leaks, lack of lubrication in bearings, mechanical wear, and electrical phenomena such as arcing, tracking and corona. To detect these abnormalities early, portable analyzers have developed, that give the opportunity for a trained ear to catch these anomalies and to prevent damage and unpleasant surprises.
More specifically, the ultrasound inspection can be done independently or joining a full schedule predictive maintenance. The applications that can be used with great success in highlighting potential problems are as follows:
Inspection of mechanical equipment
Bearings
Pump cavitation
Gear boxes
Motor and pumps
Lubrication assessment
Inspection of electrical equipment
Detection of arcing, tracking and corona to MV and HV installations
Circuit breakers
Transformers MV/LV
Bus bars
Leak detection:
Steam traps
Valves
Hatch tightness
Heat exchangers
